Beyond The Beer

The Triangle is a hub for other kinds of fermentation, too. If cider is your thing, check out Bull City Ciderworks or the impressive selection at the cider bar Black Twig Cider House, both in Durham. Wine-lovers shouldn’t miss the quaint Chatham Hill Winery in Cary. Kombucha drinkers should try the canned kombucha from The Triangle’s largest kombucha brewery, Tribucha. Spirits seekers can head to a number of distilleries in the area, including The Brothers Vilgalys Spirits Company down the street from Ponysaurus in Durham; Pinetop Distillery in Raleigh; or the TOPO Organic Distillery, sister to the TOPO Brewery & Restaurant in Chapel Hill.
